This week we're finally back with a jam-packed episode full of news and reviews! First on the agenda is Daniel Day-Lewis' shock retirement announcement (which fails to convince) and Annette Bening ruling the roost in Venice, plus a record amount of invitations from AMPAS gets our seal of approval. There are reviews of Bong Joon-ho's madcap fable "Okja" and Sofia Coppola's period potboiler "The Beguiled," while we venture into superhero territory with verdicts on Marvel's latest spidey story "Spiderman: Homecoming" and DC's critical and box-office hit "Wonder Woman". Elsewhere, Gal Gadot's pacing on the front line conjured up images of the catwalk for Cal, there's a pitch for a Miranda July-led superhero movie, and Irini unforgivably mistakes Garrett Hedlund for a certain Amazonian explorer.
